Subject: [PATCH v2 11/13] rcu-tasks: Report stalls during synchronize_srcu() in rcu_tasks_postscan()

From: Neeraj Upadhyay <quic_neeraju@...cinc.com>

The call to synchronize_srcu() from rcu_tasks_postscan() can be stalled
by a task getting stuck in do_exit() between that function's calls to
exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish().   To ease diagnosis
of this situation, print a stall warning message every rcu_task_stall_info
period when rcu_tasks_postscan() is stalled.

[ paulmck: Adjust to handle CONFIG_SMP=n. ]
